And then, implementing another SVG renderer (admittedly to a different graphics API) seemed a bit redundant to me - there a some, and e.g. librsvg (LGPL) could be used to render a pixmap of the right size on-demand. > So if my assumption is right - do we plan for user requirements or for > technical elegance? > Heh - I would hope for both! ;-) Cheers, -- Thorsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
